Chapter 154 – Shameless (2)

Mo Linyuan couldn’t help but sneer, “That’s right, I’m already the emperor.” His cold phoenix eyes then swept over the old emperor. “But when you were still an emperor, weren’t you imprisoned by a woman as well? For five years, might I add.”

“You!” Mo Shiwen’s face turned red from this direct stab!

“It’s not the s-same! She colluded with aristocratic families and caught me off guard. I-I…”

No matter how regal and imposing the old emperor used to be, being locked up for five years took a toll on his thinking as well, making him slow to understand things. Mo Linyuan’s little sister, who was only ten years old, was none the better; her eyeballs rolled back and forth between them in a frenzy in anxiety.

The old emperor was stuttering for a long time, but he couldn’t say anything when faced with Mo Linyuan. In the end, he just asked the other guards to leave, which left him a little discouraged. It was at this moment that Mo Die suddenly pulled his sleeves. He suddenly thought of something and said with a stern expression.

“If that’s the case, then forget it! Even though you are incapable of avenging your father, that’s understandable because you are still young. How about this–I’m not dead yet! And now that I have been freed shouldn’t you– ”

Mo Linyuan’s gaze instantly turned dangerous. “What should I do?” The old emperor was suddenly scared stiff by his threatening tone, making him forget the earlier lines he had discussed with Mo Die! However, Mo Die was stubbornly pushing him from behind, urging him to continue. He wiped his neck and stuttered, “Shouldn’t y-you return the throne t-to m-me?”

He clenched his fists to force himself, but his aged face was still filled with fear and uncertainty. After he finished speaking, he held his breath and waited for Mo Linfen to answer.

At that moment, both Ye Mu and Mo Linyuan felt that what they heard was too absurd, it couldn’t be right! Mo Linyuan even suspected he just listened to the most outrageous thing.

The room instantly quieted down. Seeing Mo Linyuan’s stormy face, Mo Shiwen was even more afraid. However, he recalled to mind that the person before him was still only eleven years old–and his own son! What was there to be afraid of?

He braced himself and said, “You—how old are you even? Can you handle political schemes at your age? Let me tell you, the empress dowager’s methods are too ruthless. You’re definitely not a match for her. So, it would be better to return the authority to me, and I will be able to deal with her properly! You will be like Die’er, protected under my wing! Isn’t that easier?”

Hearing this, Mo Linyuan could not help but laugh in anger. “You? Protect me? You’re going to deal with her?”

“Yes. That’s right…”

Mo Linyuan walked to Ye Mu’s side and once again pulled her small hands into his. His phoenix eyes drooped as he scoffed and narrated, “I left the palace when I was just five years old. Yet my memories about royal father were unforgettable. If royal father wishes for me to be obedient, then you should be sorely disappointed.”

He raised his eyes and shot a piercing glance at Mo Shiwen. “The next time I hear you say that I will cut your tongue off myself.”

“Y-You, you…!” Mo Shiwen was terrified by Mo Linyuan’s brutal words. He hid behind his daughter, looking at him in pure terror!

“This is outrageous! Where is your filial piety! Did you learn anything at all?!”

Mo Linyuan coldly harrumphed in reply, “When we left the palace, I couldn’t even recognize a single word. And you want to talk about filial piety?”

He pulled Ye Mu outside and said the last few words without even turning his head to glance at them.

“All these years, I only know that those who follow me will live, but those who disobey me will only be fed to dogs.”

Ye Mu had could feel the killing intent dripping from his words. This was a side of him she had never seen before.
